STM32L4P5G-DK

DISCO board for the new 'L4Pxx is out:

https://www.st.com/en/evaluation-tools/stm32l4p5g-dk.html?icmp=tt14426_gl_****_mar2020#

Remarks:

  • yet another naming scheme, with -DK suffix - bad idea, DISCO was a good keyword to search these at the distributors
  • no display - okay, although the price is relatively high for the displayless board (probably given by the here unnecessary V3 of STLink, with the bonus of broken 8MHz MCO) - but there's no hint of what the suggested display/board might be, entirely bad move, drowning the DISCO idea further
  • SAI audio codec (footprint only), ST-MEMS digital microphone (footprint only) - cm'on, what's the point here?
  • 4-Gbyte onboard eMMC, OctoSPI DDR NOR FLASH and PSRAM, - okay, and what for, if there are no IO devices to make use of them?
  • U-suffixed part, with no hint of explanation in the DB
  • no UM yet, although there's a link from the DB - I hope this means ST is hastily removing the amateurish modern-feel-and-look from it, and inserting the schematics.

Sorry, ST, but this all marks decline.
